Airbnb Software Development Engineer interview questions

They did a great job selling the culture and mission of Airbnb at an initial info session at my university. The coding challenge was decently challenging and I wasn't able to get the last test case to run quickly enough, but I still made it through to the phone screens. The next step was two back to back phone screen/skype calls with engineers. They did specifically say that "success" depended on having a working coded solution by the end of the 45 minutes, which was pretty tough. It seemed very geared toward selecting for speed-coding.

online coding challenge then a video interview where they watch you code. mostly problem solving questions not things about specific data structures. the people seemed nice and helped when they could. they didnt care about small errors they were looking for overall ability to develop an algorithm.
